If it were up to her, they'd be singing carols and baking cookies. Instead, they're stockings-deep in a murder investigation . . .



Leta Parker is looking forward to her first holiday season in the Cotswolds. Prepping for the town's tree-lighting ceremony, the village is enraged when the new American earl announces plans to develop his family's estate into a resort. And when the brash successor is found dead in a ditch, it's obvious this car crash was no accident.



Determined to unwrap the truth behind the tragedy, Leta enlists the help of the Little Old Ladies Detective Agency and her talking dog and cat. But with everyone in the charming hamlet a suspect, it'll be tough to discover who's not on Father Christmas's naughty list.



Will Leta and friends deliver the gift of justice?



Whiskers, Wreaths & Murder is the third book in the delightful Dickens & Christie cozy mystery series. If you like clever senior women, deep friendships, and animals of the talking variety, then you'll love Kathy Manos Penn's yuletide whodunit.
